Research Interest

We are particularly interested in the roles of Nodal and FGF signaling pathways in mesoderm induction and dorsovental patterning of vertebrate embryos.Genes mediating Nodal and FGF signals in zebrafish embryos were identified by whole-mount in situ hybridization screening, yeast two hybrid system and microarry assay, and their functions are being studied using various biochemical, genetic and molecular approaches. We are also identifying maternal factors controlling early embryonic development through mutagenesis.
